NFL and Speed

[xlxBigSexyxlx]

Does anyone know a website where I can find how fast NFL players are?

Everytime I find a bio, its just of stats i.e. height and weight.

I read somewhere where some recievers ran a 4.2 40. I was wondering how fast linebackers run them.

Thanks.

Top receivers run in the 4.3s..I'd say 4.4s is average for a receiver. Corners about the same. Safeties similiar..Linebackers I'd say in the 4.5-4.6 range. 4.2s is rare but theres a few in the league that are that quick. You can count them on one hand the ones that are quicker than 4.2

4.2 is definetly top shelf for 40 time. as far as I know D. Hall on ATL is the only player i know of that currently runs a 4.2. he is a CB. usually CB and WR tend to be the fastest. as chest said 4.4 and lower is ideal but some WRs run 4.6-4.8. LBs are quick but they arent as fast as WRs or CBs. I would say the fastest LB runs a 4.6 at best.

1. WR/CB
2. RB/S
3. LB/DE

4.6 eh for a linebacker?


you can try out for a NFL team right? Even though you dont play for college?

[unvme9180]

i think thats only if they hold open tryouts. otherwise i believe you have to be invited to try out. you thinking of trying out?

[xlxBigSexyxlx]

I think some teams hold open try outs.

Im really thinking about trying out in a few years.

right now, Im only at 190 lbs. I can get to 230 within a few years, and thats ratio wise up to people like Urlacher.

My 40 time right now is a 4.8 And again, within few years, 4.6 or 4.5 shouldn't be too hard.

I played all in high school, lettered my freshamn year, Im only 19 now. I know how to tackle and all that good stuff.

Im about to buy a running chute and some agility ladders.

Im actually really exicted, if open try outs really exist...

im thinking HS is a little slower than the NFL. you would definetly have your work cut out for you. i went to HS with a guy who played DB/S. he was a 4 year starter at Temple in Philly. actually made the eagles practice team. then got on the phil. soul arena team and now he plays for the arena team in CA. not sure which team that is.

Ya I know. Its def gonna be hard. Maybe even damn near immpossible.

But Im up for it. Even if I dont make it. I will be in hella great shape ya know. The worst they can tell me is no, you didnt make it.

Even people that run a 4.3, 4.4, you bump em up to 230lbs and they wont be running a 4.6

[xlxBigSexyxlx]

this is true. This is another thing that popped into my mind and another obstacle. But hey, no reason not to try and overcome it.

exactly man, and like you said, even if you dont make it you will still be in great shape from all the training. good luck

yeah true. To my knowledge urlacher is 260 and runs a 4.4..same w marriman..crazy freaks

[xlxBigSexyxlx]

yeah true. To my knowledge urlacher is 260 and runs a 4.4..same w marriman..crazy freaks

haha yeah, hes my idle...and hes a beast.

But i figured, hes the best of the best. I highly doubt Im gonna be the next urlacher....but I was comparing with some other guys...few no namers and whatnot...hell, even practice squad for that matter, who get paid like 700 g's a year...not too bad for just practice squad lol

but like I said, Im gonan shoot for it all. Im buying all my stuff now and getting all straight. There worst i can get is a no.

[xlxBigSexyxlx]

exactly man, and like you said, even if you dont make it you will still be in great shape from all the training. good luck

Yep

Best Outcome: NFL
Worst: Great shape and continue my chem. engineering career.

either way, Im happy. I just like to set high stantards.

Thanks.

Im sure Ill let ev1 know if I end up making it a few years.

[Hackamaniac]

Not trying to piss on your parade..
But you better have been all american highschooler..
Alot of good colleges players don't make it..
What makes you think that all of a sudden your gonna have the talent of an NFL player?Chances are slim to none..But hell i'm gonna pitch for the CARDINALS next year...So who knows?

[CoreyTampa09]

You might have a shot pitching for the CARDINALS next season...hoper were still talking abou the same sport.....suppan is about to be gone along with mulder and marquis who I pitched with in high school. He was nasty, although I hit em all the time in practice. I played 3b for Tottenville and we won state my junior year in 04'. I now play college for the University of Tampa NCAA Division II JV squad. The varsity team is nasty, won it all last year and had 6 players go in the top 8 rounds of the draft...not bad for a D II team ayyy.

[CSAR]

I played Div I ball (SS) for four years. There's a reason why less than 1% of all college football players make it in the NFL.

I'm not saying it's impossible for you, because I don't know you or your abilities...but I am saying that there's a lotta guys with more experience than you who can't make the cut (maybe more talent and natural athletic ability as well, but again I don't know you).

However, I do wish you luck in your endeavor.
